Job 1:7
Compare all
5 So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and1 sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning aand offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, “It may be that my sons have sinned and bcursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did regularly.  

Satan Attacks Job’s Character

6 Now athere was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and1 Satan also came among them.  
7 And the Lord said to1 Satan, “From where do you come?” So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From agoing to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”  
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you1 considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and2 shuns evil?”

Job 1:7

going to and fro—rather, "hurrying rapidly to and fro." The original idea in Arabic is the heat of haste (Matthew 12:43; I Peter 5:8). Satan seems to have had some peculiar connection with this earth. Perhaps he was formerly its ruler under God. Man succeeded to the vice royalty (Genesis 1:26; Psalms 8:6). Man then lost it and Satan became prince of this world. The Son of man (Psalms 8:4) —the representative man, regains the forfeited inheritance (Revelation 11:15). Satan's replies are characteristically curt and short. When the angels appear before God, Satan is among them, even as there was a Judas among the apostles.
